SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
This is a beautiful brass and glass lamp with a flock of geese in flight over a water landscape. Shading of sky has the soft blue and golden color of an evening sunset.
Pairpoint is known for three kinds of glass lampshades, originally produced from the mid-1890s through the mid-1920s: reverse painted landscape shades (where the glass is hand painted on the inside surface so colors appear softly through the glass), blown out reverse painted shades, and ribbed reverse painted shades, mostly with floral designs and landscape scenes. In 1910, the company began using a spherical knop (or "bubble ball") on some of its pieces, a technique involving trapping air bubbles inside a piece of glass in a symmetrical pattern, which can be applied to ice buckets, decanters, glassware, and other pierces. This became a trademark of the company.
Pairpoint's reverse painted lamps are generally considered to be the most popular and expensive of such lamps on the market.
